I've been playing with sniffer a bit, and one thing I have noticed is that it will catch many adult emails that do not fail any other declude tests and that have been getting through my current setup. The problem is that if I want to catch them, I have rely only on sniffer and put sniffer at a weight 10 (and hold at 10) and not rely on another test to trigger the hold.
Is there any other way around this or another way I can set it up? Also, how can I really tell if sniffer is catching any more than my current setup? (other than these adult emails) I see that it is triggered on many emails in addition other tests, but don't see too many outside of these adult emails where it is the only test being triggered.

This works very well for us. Bill -----Original Message----- From: "Trent M.

We offer our clients 2 levels of SPAM blocking. Regular (using a WEIGHT20) and Aggressive (using a WEIGHT10). Because we're an ISP, we have to be really careful about deleting legitimate email. We purchased Message Sniffer and implemented it and it is catching a bunch of messages, but the default weight is 7. With the percentage as high as it is, I'd like to give it a 17 so that if a message fails it plus 1 other test, it'll fail the regular test. Need I be that cautious? Just looking for feedback from other users of Sniffer. Trent ----------- Trent M.
